I'm puzzled by the reference to "kmymoney-4.6.1-20110918".  Why is it 
not referencing the 4.7.xxxxx location?  There can be problems if there 
is more than one KMM version installed.

I must add that I know nothing about Windows installs so ignore me if I 
am talking rubbish.

In fact, I've been trying this (new git) every month or so since about August 2015. As I recall, it has always had this linking problem. (In the mean time I've just been using the 4.7.2 branch because it builds.)
